Second Baptist Church, Liberty

Second Friends Preschool

Second Friends Preschool began in 1994 with a single classroom. More than 30 years later, our purpose remains the same: to provide a happy, safe, and nurturing learning environment where every child feels known, loved, and secure.
At Second Friends, each of our classrooms includes a caring lead teacher and assistant teacher and serves up to twelve students. This structure allows for close relationships and attentive care. Our teachers are thoughtfully chosen for their education, experience in early childhood learning, shared Christian values, and sensitivity to the unique needs of young children. We share our Christian faith through the way we speak, act, listen, respond, and care.

Children are encouraged to discover, explore, ask questions, and wonder as they learn through meaningful, hands-on experiences.

We are thrilled to have been named a top three winner by “Best of the Northland” in the “Best Northland Preschool/Daycare” category in 2023, 2024, and 2025. This honor is awarded by the Courier-Tribune and Gladstone Dispatch newspapers.
